President Obama will visit a local jobs training center in Lanham, Md., on Tuesday to highlight his goal of building a clean energy economy.

White House spokesman Ben LaBolt said that while it is an energy-related event, there will also be a jobs component.

“I am very firm in my conviction that the country that leads the way in clean energy -- solar, wind, biodiesel, geothermal -- that country is going to win the race in the 21st century global economy,” Obama told reporters last week. “So we have to move in that direction.”

The White House said Obama will deliver remarks on the administration's investments to "create energy jobs and transition to a low carbon economy."
